What is Vinyasa or Power Yoga?
By Monique on 27th May, 2009
Similar to Ashtanga yoga, Vinyasa yoga and Power Yoga are very athletic forms of yoga to improve strength, flexibility, and stamina. This type of yoga is popular in the United States, as it is very physically focused. Another feature of Vinyasa yoag is the synchronization of breath to movement.
Personally I enjoy Vinyasa yoga, as it allows for an intense and powerful practice. Unlike Ashtanga yoga it does not require any specific yoga poses, so it allows for more creativity and free flowing.
